Adding custom roll template to existing sheet

Ok I am using the 5e D&D sheet, not the shaped sheet.

I have discovered that the roll templates are part of the sheet

Can I add a new roll template to this existing sheet?

Hi cordell,

Roll templates are coded into a sheet.  If it was another sheet (official sheets by roll20 do not permit their code to be publicly accessible), a pro user could modify a sheet's roll template if desired and use it in a custom game.  You can access roll20's default template regardless of which sheet you are using, but a sheet's built-in roll template should be heads and shoulders better than the default...
What are you trying to accomplish?

I like the look of Powercards but as I understand it everyone has to have that enabled in order to see it correct?

I was thinking that maybe I could make a roll template to match that where everyone wouldnt need powercards

Only the game's creator needs to have a script installed. API scripts are a Pro level feature, but everyone in the game will have access. ;-)

I'd recommend going with ScriptCards instead, as it's more active used, has more features, and is actively updated. It's by the person who used to maintain PowerCards, but created ScriptCards to be able to add more features & better structure.
You can see examples here: https://wiki.roll20.net/Script:ScriptCards#Example_Scripts
